For indoors you can try to kill the ambient light and use just the strobes for light or you can try to match the ambient light by adding filters to the strobes. I like my MagMod system as it is so quick and easy to use filters and or grids. But you can also just buy filter sheets, cut to fit your light and hold in place with some gaffers tape or a rubber band.

The OP's question was regarding outdoors not indoors.

That reply was not to the OP which was very clear as I used quote reply! I think in 3 pages of replies the OP was covered regarding their question.

... In Lightroom and many other post-processing apps, the initial white balance is set to a default chosen by the software developers.
I have set my usual Import preset to set WB to "As Shot" among other defaults I want. This preset avoids careless screw ups which seem to occur more frequently as I age. The thoughtless first step in my develop workflow is to tweak the WB and "Basic" settings and then sync all photos with the same lighting to those settings as a starting point. No thinking, no screw up!

Even so, the profile Adobe uses for the camera is not the same as the profile your camera manufacturer's supplied software uses. So there are subtle differences.

Today's modern DSLR cameras with sophisicated imagers and processors are much more accurately reading and setting exposure and colors. The results are pleasing and accurate .jpg files that closely matches .raw files. These .jpg images resembles what the eyes sees. Images that are worked on in PP tend to be more saturated and sometimes exaggerated. Viewing monitor setup is critical to accurately view and adjust settings in post production.

Manual white balance settings are the most accurate method but requires additional knowledge on lighting temperatures, type of lighting: sunny, shaded, overcast, outdoors; incandescent, fluorescent, iodized, indoors; and more complexes mixed lighting. White balance and gray scale charts are tools needed to measure and set colors. Auto white balance in today's digital cameras are not perfect but is quite accurate. Additional correction can be done in Post Production.
